Texas Water Safari

Hello everyone....
The other day I saw a picture in the paper about The Texas Water Safari. Apparently it is a long distance canoe race that starts in San Marcos and goes all the way down to the coast. Sounds like fun. Does anyone have any information on this race or has anyone ever participated in it? I'm thinking about doing it next year and want to find out what is involved and what equipment is needed.
Thanks,
Michael

Re: Texas Water Safari

The Texas Water Safari is an annual event. This year's race ran from June 11-15th and was posted on our Wild Texas Calendar with the following information:

Quote:
The Safari is a long, tough nonstop, marathon canoe racing adventure, which traverses 260 miles of challenging rivers and bays. Although the rate varies from year to year depending on water conditions, in previous Safaris as few as two teams out of sixty starters managed to reach the finish line. Many participants enter the Safari with no intention of winning, but with aspirations of joining the elite group of finishers and earning the coveted Texas Water Safari patch.

For more information, visit http://www.tisd.net/~txws/race_info_tws.htm
Justin and I have camped during the safari (at Palmetto State Park) and seen the racers, but that's about as close to the event as we've ever been.
